IMPROVED COMPO'U'ND FOR THE MANUFACTURE OI WAX-FLOWERS.

The sehedulej referred to in these Letters Patent: and making part s!the same.

.I, MARY JANE MCGOLL, of the city of Chicago, in the State of Illinois,have invented a certain compound, being-an Improved Artists \Vax to beused in the manufacture of wax-flowers, and t'or other similar purposes.

Th'e' nature ofmydnvention consists in mixing spirits ofturpentineandrosin with artists wax soas to produce a wax that s-anbeused in. all weather and of a superior quality.

To prepare this compound, I take one ounce. of

spirits of turpentine, in which I dissolve three ounces now in use forlike purposes, among which I mention the following:

It does not become brittle in cold weather, nor does warm weatherinterfere with its use; the sheetscan be placed together withoutinter-posing paper between them,- and will not adhere to each other;dust does notreadily-adhere to it, hut'can be brushed 05; colors can bemore readily painted upon it; the same can be more easily out into thinsheets; and it does not have the glossy appearance of the grades orkindsof wax heretofore in use; and in use for making flowers orfruits isnot so readily detected from natural fruits or flowers. v

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- The manufacture or preparation of the compound herein described ofthe ingredients and in the proportions substantially as and for thepurposes set; forth.

MARY JANE MGOOLI.
